FEBRUARY 5 UPDATE (39 WEEKS)
12 weeks, one day
Mckayla is still having diaper rash issues. Her little hiney is so sore. Since lotions have not worked they are now trying a different brand of diapers for her. The rashes of the other two are clear now. Mckayla is still on 1.5 liters of oxygen. She is still not doing well with her bottles. Her bed needs lowered eventually. She still has a way to go before being approved for discharge
Madilynn has been breathing on her own since Friday. She needs to improve her bottle feeding and have her bed lowered. She has some issues that are difficult for the doctors and nurses to figure out and that is stressful for baby and mama. Some things are just a mystery when dealing with preemie babies. Not all are alike for sure! She had a hearing test today that came back normal for preemies.
Mackenzie did great with her bottles today. She took three back to back bottles with no problems at all. She is breathing well on her own. She needs to keep up the great progress with her bottles and have her bed lowered and she will be ready to come home. She may very well be the first baby to come home.
Please pray that each of the babies will continue to improve with breathing and bottles. Pray that the mysteries of Madilynn will be figured out. Pray that Christine gets a good night rest each night between her pumping. Stress causes such exhaustion. Having babies in the NICU is stressful just in and of itself and then add all the things that she deals with day to day that we don't know about, she really needs good rest and strength from the Lord!
